Four Bulls And The Lion

Four Bulls And The Lion

Once upon a time, there were four bulls who were best friends. They always stayed together and grazed in forest grasslands, enjoying each other’s company and sharing their meals.

In the forest, there lived a lion who used to keep an eye on these four bulls. The lion planned many times to hunt one of the bulls. But to his dismay, none of the bulls was alone, and all four stayed together the whole time. His plan to attack any one of them when it is alone didn’t come to fruition because the bulls always stood united. Then the lion thought, “I cannot win over all four of them with my strength. I have to make them leave the group and graze separately.”

The lion made a tactful plan to create disunity among the bulls. He approached each bull individually and said things that sowed seeds of doubt in their minds.

“My friend,” he said to the first bull, “I’ve noticed the others consuming more grass, leaving you with less. You’re growing thinner by the day.” And so, he whispered similar words to each bull, creating disharmony among them. Each bull, listening to the tricky words of the lion, started to doubt the integrity of their friendship.

Soon, suspicion grew among the once-united bulls. They started avoiding each other. Each bull claimed its own territory in the field and started to graze alone separately.

Their distrust made it easy for the lion to attacks each bull separately. The lion, upon getting successful with his plan, attacked a bull and ate it. None of his friends came to save him. The next day, the lion attacked the second bull. One by one, the lion preyed upon all four isolated bulls, devouring them with ease.

Despite their initial union, the seeds of doubt sown by the cunning lion led to their demise. In the end, disunity proved to be their weakness, as they fell victim to their own suspicions.
